Nutritionally, hempseed oil can be thought of as diet oil.
Since it is 80 percent EFA (essential fatty acids),
only 20 percent of oil is available to be used
as energy or converted to body fat.

With soy consumption at an all-time high,
soy allergies are also on the rise.
Hemp has the upper hand in that it is rarely allergenic;
meaning it is rarely the culprit of allergies.
Many people have trouble
digesting soy due to the oligosaccharides,
which cause gas and stomach upsets.

Hempseed by contrast is highly digestible
because it contains a superior type of protein called globulin,
which is similar to that found in the human body.
Finally, recent concern about soy stems from the now more than
50 percent of the crop that is grown from genetically modified seed,
while hemp remains untouched.
